I think you're right on that I missed it. I still like an offensive coach for the Jets usually teams go in a different direction they had previously, but most likely they hire the GM first.
Yeah, as bad as their offense has been for so long, I think they might be thinking the same thing. And Casserly actually took a good approach in building the Texans, he just had some bad luck so he may actually do well in putting something together for the Jets.
I haven't really been paying attention to who's out there though. Getting back to Capers for a second though, he's spent time recently with the Patriots and Dolphins. In addition to nepotism, these guys often stay with the divisions that they're familiar with so maybe his name will actually be on the table for the Jets?
If they want to go young and offense, Greg Roman coached for Capers in Carolina and Houston for a few years so maybe he's an option? I think I've heard that he'll be promoted if Harbaugh leaves though so I don't know.
What about Gil Haskell tying things together? He was Capers' OC in '98 but also was Holmgren's OC in Seattle after that. So, maybe there's a connection between Casserly and Holmgren? I think the Jets need to make a splash and I've heard that Holmgren might be ready to come back to the NFL.
Holmgren would fit a lot of what the Jets could use. Big name, offense-minded, has built franchises that were in need of help, instant credibility...could be a possibility.
